Speaker 1: some great college football like we did. It's me and

36
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: Cone today again from a remote location. Got some great

37
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: stuff for you and Cone. I want to jump right in, man,

38
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: because there's a lot to talk about. I want to

39
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: start with Cincinnati Abama, and you know, I really kind

40
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: of want one big thing that you thought was a

41
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,559
Speaker 1: huge difference in the game. For me, it's been something

42
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: we talk about all the time, that we talked about

43
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: a ton going into this game, and it's up front.

44
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: Alabama was heading shoulders above Cincinnatia on both sides of

45
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: the ball. You look offensively, they were able to run out.

46
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: I was surprised Bill Bryan didn't run it more, especially

47
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: in the first half. Really it will Brian Robinson. Whether

48
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: it was zoned, whether it was gap scheme, it didn't

49
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: matter breaking tackles, getting into the secondary. I thought Cincinnati

50
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: fought really hard, but you saw as the game kept

51
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: going along, Bamma was able to get consistent, pushed and

52
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: if you look, they really ran vanilla ice cream on offense.

53
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: I mean the first drive was fall Camp day one

54
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: install stuff. I mean, it isn't a lot of complex stuff.

55
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: You could tell that they had watched the film and

56
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: felt that they were better up front, and it's always

57
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: a risk to not show a lot, but I think

58
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: the risk paid off. BAMMA really didn't show a lot.

59
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: If you go back and watch the game, you know

60
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: Jamison went down for a little bit, but up front

61
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball, being able to

62
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 1: control the lot of scrimmage, didn't get into a ton

63
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 1: of third and long. So I don't think Bryce Young

64
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: played his best game at all. I think he had

65
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: one of his worst games. I don't think from a

66
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: pass protection side a standpoint, they were fantastic, but they

67
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: were good enough on the ground to negate a lot

68
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: of it that ate a ton o'clock. They almost beat

69
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: Cincinnati the way that Georgia has been beating people. If

70
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: you look on the defensive side of the ball, Cincinnati

71
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: was never able to get into a rhythm. The first stride,

72
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: they went straight down the field, stayed on script. Mike

73
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: Denbrock had a great script getting out, but once they

74
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: got inside to ten, they didn't try and run the

75
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: ball one time. After I saw them do that, I

76
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: kind of came to the fruition of I don't think

77
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: they think they can consistently run the ball when they

78
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: have to. The third and ones, the second are the

79
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: fourth and ones, the third and threes when you have

80
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: to keep it on the ground. I thought Will Anderson,

81
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: I thought the defensive line math has played the game

82
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: of his life in my opinion, And one thing that

83
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: I thought they did that was so smart, And this

84
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: just shows you the next level thinking that you get

85
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: with some of these guys that some of these higher places.

86
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: They knew that Cincinnati knew that they couldn't pass protect

87
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: for Desna Ritter for long, which means outside of you know,

88
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: a quick back shoulder, you know, just sitting your foot

89
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: back and launching the face on the vertical. They realized

90
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: Cincinnati was gonna have to use modified runs in quick game.

91
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: So what you saw a lot from the interior of

92
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: Alabama was they take two steps and get their hands up.

93
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: Alabama batted more balls in this game. Matthis alone, batted

94
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: more balls in this game than I've seen them that

95
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: all year. That was a strategic move by Alabama and

96
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: it paid off. I remember two or three third downs

97
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: Cone where the guy was open and they batted down

98
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: the pass and that gave Bama the ball back and

99
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: they'd go eat another six minutes off of the clock.

100
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: What was one of your big takeaways? I was not

101
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: surprised at how effective Alabama wasn't running the football. I

102
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: expected that. I was a little surprised at how discipline

103
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien was to stick to it at the beginning.

104
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I thought that he might run

105
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: the ball a little bit more as the game went on.

106
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: What I was surprised with is normally, when you're that

107
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: effective in the run game and you have the Heisman

108
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: Trophy winner in the pocket, usually you don't have that

109
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: poor of a performance throwing the football, you know, I mean,

110
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: because the run game opens up so much for Bryce Young.

111
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 1: So I was a little surprised that Bryce didn't have

112
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: a better game. But look, I mean, Cincinnati did a

113
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: lot of things well, just not enough to hang with

114
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: the likes of Alabama. So really, what I want to

115
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: see moving forward from this Alabama team with a national

116
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: championship still to go, is are they going to continue

117
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: to sort of play to their competition or is it

118
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 1: going to be are they going to be able to

119
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: rise to the occasion again the way that they did

120
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: in the SEC Championships when they were underdogs really for

121
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: that one time, right? Yeah, you know, I want to

122
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: ask you this too. You know, going back and watching

123
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: the game and you look through the season at Alabama,

124
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: do you think maybe they just played the game of

125
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: their life in the SEC Championship game. Do you think

126
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: that's realistic? I mean, that was pete Bama from what

127
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: I saw after I saw what Georgia did to Michigan yesterday,

128
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: and with what I had seen with Auburn being able

129
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: to hold Alabama scoreless for three plus quarters, when I

130
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: saw LSU and countless other teams be able to get

131
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: to Bryce Young with simple four man stunts, not bringing

132
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: five man pressures, and then in person in Atlanta to

133
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: watch the dismantling of the Georgia Bulldogs with what the

134
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: Crimson Tide did to them. They just played the game

135
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: of their lives right and they did everything right. And

136
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: that's what a Nick Saban led team can do to you.

137
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: My question is, and it's the same question that everyone

138
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: up and down this state has. Can't they do it twice? Yeah?

139
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: I know, and again it's hard to beat a good

140
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: team twice. You've said that a ton and you know

141
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: a lot of people will say, and I I want to

142
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: make this understood, Alabama dominated this game. That they dominated

143
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: the game. Really, you look at the stats. We can

144
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: go up and down the sheet. They didn't score sixty points,

145
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: but look at the length and the time of possession

146
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: that they had the ball even on drives where they

147
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: weren't scoring. And again, it wasn't like they threw the

148
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: whole bookhet. I mean, and you'll have people and I

149
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: said this, and I've said this the whole year. Cincinnati

150
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 1: is a great story that they're not an elite team. Now,

151
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: there's not a ton of elite teams out there this year.

152
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: But when I look at Cincinnati, do I think Old

153
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: miss could beat them? Yeah? Do I think Bayla could

154
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: beat them? Yeah? Do I you know? Noted they went

155
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: and beat Notre Dame, And I understand that, but I

156
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: look around. I think there's some other teams that could

157
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: have gotten that fourth spot. But it was a perfect

158
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: storm for Cincinnati, and I'm glad we got to see it.

159
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: I'm glad the whole world got to see it. You

160
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: saw the difference up front, that's where the game is

161
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: won and lost. And to say, you know, we can

162
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: argue did Cincinnati belong? I'm just almost glad we got

163
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: to see it. And I told you a lot of

164
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: the year I didn't want him in there. But it

165
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: got to the point where there's so much noise and

166
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: there's so much on the periphery that sometimes you just

167
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: got to see it. Now, did Cincinnati blow it for

168
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: the group of five? No, but it's not like this

169
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: game to me was never in doubt from the start

170
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,559
Speaker 1: to the finish. It was never even after Bama missed

171
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: the field goal to be up ten to three. So

172
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: there's rational arguments on both sides of did Cincinnati belong?

173
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: But make no mistake and kind of want your put

174
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: on this, Bama dominated this game. Yeah, especially as you

175
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: look right now with Oklahoma State losing to Notre Dame.

176
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: I mean, at some point, who were you going to

177
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: put in the fourth spot? The irony is that the

178
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: year in which we've seen the most parody across college football,

179
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: because it's been awesome to see this year, ironically we've

180
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: seen the least amount of parody at the top because

181
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: usually we say at least three of those top four

182
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: spots have a shot to win the national title, and

183
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: usually that fourth slot never really is able to contend

184
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: in that second playoff game. Well, yesterday proved what you

185
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: and I had been saying this year, Jake, which is well,

186
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: really it was only two okay, because I mean Michigan

187
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 1: didn't put up a fight and Cincinnati really didn't put

188
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: up a fight both games. I think it was funny,

189
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: like both games, almost the scoring of Alabama and Georgie

190
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: on the first drive would have almost were enough points

191
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: to win the total ballgame, you know, each of those

192
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: except for that late score for Michigan. But yeah, I mean,

193
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: who else are you going to put in there? You know,

194
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: I mean for the third and four spots. We clearly

195
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: said all year it's Alabama and Georgia and everyone else.

196
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: And then when Georgia got dismantled the way they did

197
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: in the SEC championship and Michigan came on strong against

198
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 1: Ohio and in the Big Ten Championship, we said, well,

199
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 1: maybe let's see, maybe they can keep it interesting. Maybe

200
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: Cincinnati really is the real deal and can at least

201
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: fight in there and maybe at least cover a thirteen

202
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: and a half point spread. Neither proved to be the case. Yeah, no, no,

203
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: I agree with you one hundred percent. And you know, again,

204
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna continue to watch Cincinnati. They're losing a ton

205
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: going into the Big twelve. You're losing Ritter, you're losing Sauce.

206
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 1: I know they were turning some guys. I'm very interested

207
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: to see how they do in the Big twelve year

208
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: one being in the Power five, and I can't wait

209
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: to see it. I think it's good for college football.

210
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: And really all of those teams you know that are

211
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: going UCF and Houston, these teams that are going into

212
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: the Big twelve, but kind of want to move to

213
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: Michigan and Georgia. And it's funny, you know, And Blaine said,

214
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: I gotta get Blaine credit. You know, he was like,

215
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: I think Michigan our Georgia may beat Michigan worse than

216
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: Bama beat Cincinnati. And when you look at this game,

217
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: when you look at this game, to me and I said,

218
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: you know, I think the team that wins is going

219
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: to be the one with the least pass attempts. Michigan

220
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: played right into what Georgia does. They made mistakes, but

221
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: you know, we talked about this a ton, almost a

222
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: nauseating amount. Michigan didn't have the cats outside and the

223
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: type of offensive athlete that could hit Georgia from long range.

224
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: You know, they hit a few deep balls, could put

225
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: a few good balls out there. The game was already

226
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: you know, pretty much over by then. But you know,

227
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: Bama with Jamiston Williams and what they're able to do

228
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: with the big plays on the outside. They hit Georgia

229
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: from far out, they didn't. It wasn't eleven, twelve thirteen

230
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: play drives eaten a ton o'clock. Totally different type of

231
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: game than what we saw with Alabama and Cincinnati. And

232
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: I know you being a former Michigan player, obviously it's

233
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: a little bit disappointing, but I do want to say this,

234
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 1: this takes away nothing from the season that Michigan had

235
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: that they did a ton To me, Michigan played their

236
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: way back to relevance. And I know, again moral victories

237
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 1: for losers, and I understand that, but they're still able

238
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: to put a ring on their finger. They're Big ten champs.

239
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: You beat Ohio State, trying to change the narrative there.

240
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: Obviously you're gonna get more stability now with hardball, a

241
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: lot of the questions are going to be done. But

242
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: this game, to me, Georgia came out pissed off. And

243
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: in the pregame speech that I gave to Georgia, you know,

244
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's being big, fast, physical,

245
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: and pissed. That's what it is. And Georgia played like

246
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: the Georgia team we thought we were going to see

247
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 1: in the SEC Championship. And I'm telling you right now,

248
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: Cone and you know, hindsight's always twenty twenty and that's great,

249
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: But losing the Bama the way they did may have

250
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: been the best thing that could have happened to Georgia

251
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: because they dominated from the start to the finish. Thought

252
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: Stetson played really well. I thought Monkey did a great job,

253
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: especially early in the game, mixing in some things, and

254
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 1: they got to a point where Michigan didn't have the

255
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: firepower to come back. And at that point Georgia was like,

256
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: that's fine, just keep throwing it to us on defense. Yeah, no,

257
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 1: you're right. I mean, David Pollock said that early in

258
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: the season, right, he said, don't be surprised if Georgia

259
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: loses to Alabama and that SEC championship and comes back

260
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: and beat him in the national title. Well, that stage

261
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: is now set, so we'll see. And ironically enough, all

262
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: I had to console me after a loss to the

263
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 1: Bulldogs was my bulldog, Penny Lane, so as at least that.

264
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, look for Michigan, if you're going to go

265
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: up against better personnel, which Georgia had, then you need

266
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: more sound execution than your opponent, and they had neither,

267
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: you know, and they had neither, and Georgia played quite perfectly,

268
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: to be frank, and did whatever they wanted to do

269
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: up and down the field. You know, I won't get

270
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: into the XS and o's so much right now, Jake,

271
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: because I don't think Michigan did enough schematically to really

272
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: warrant that at this point. Even though you did say

273
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,839
Speaker 1: some good things. Yes, the future, you know, the future

274
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: could be bright for them. I think you saw some

275
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: flashes with JJ McCarthy and he got some more action

276
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff. Let's see if Jim

277
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: Harbaugh and his staff can build off that. But right now,

278
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: I just want to focus on the Georgia Bulldogs because

279
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: they earned it. Two things stuck out to me one

280
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: but both of them by Kirby Smart. One. They played

281
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: perfect football in the first half. I think they scored

282
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: on the first four straight possessions, right, and really the

283
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: only hiccup they had was right there before half, okay,

284
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: with some clock mismanagement and Kirby Smart reem stetson Bennett

285
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: from midfield all the way to the locker room. Okay,

286
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: I haven't seen Jim Harball yell at a Michigan player

287
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: all season, really the referees. Yeah, but you know, I

288
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,599
Speaker 1: mean that deserved to happen because it was poor execution.

289
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: After you've been executing flawlessly. Could have at least gotten

290
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: another field goal, maybe even seven out of that before

291
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: the half. And then the second thing, you know, at

292
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: the very end of the game, with Kirby Smart waving

293
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: off the gatorade bath and saying, we haven't accomplished anything.

294
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: Don't you dare come over here with that. Wait till

295
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: the next game, Wait till the next game, and stay

296
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: focused because this isn't even worth celebrating. That's the kind

297
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: of head coach that I want to play for. That's

298
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: the kind of head coach I want to hire if

299
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: I'm an athletic director. Even when Michigan scored that late

300
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: touch down and I saw a couple of their players celebrating,

301
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: I'm just shaking my head over here, Jake. I'm like,

302
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 1: what do you have to celebrate? You are getting and

303
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: have gotten dominated for sixty minutes, and that team over

304
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: there that's dominating you, they're not even celebrating because they

305
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: know they have not accomplished what they set out to accomplish. So,

306
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure that we're going to dissect Alabama

307
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: and Georgia to the tea here moving on this week.

308
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: But it should be a great matchup, even even though

309
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: we've already seen it once. Yeah, It's it's one thing

310
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: to be able to land the ship on the asteroid

311
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: that's about to hit Earth. That's another thing to land

312
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: the ship and then blow the asteroid up. And that's

313
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: something you know, Michigan wasn't able to get there. Now,

314
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: were you surprised, because you know, we know how good

315
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: Georgia's defense is, we do, but and you mentioned it

316
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: a little bit, two things really stood out to me.

317
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: The lack of Michigan's ability to protect Cade in the

318
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: pocket the whole game. Georgia was collapsing the pocket though

319
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: they were winning almost every one on one matchup consistently,

320
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: and having a speed cade up which those the timing

321
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: offtical receivers. And were you surprised at how vanilla Michigan

322
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: was schematically? I mean they you look at George, I mean,

323
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: Georgia took chances offensive. Georgia was the underdog. I know

324
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: if you had told me that one of the teams

325
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: is going to have a half back through a touchdown?

326
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: I said, well, of course that's gonna be Michigan. You know,

327
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: That's what I said in my victory. They had to

328
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: stay creative on offense. They didn't do that. And look,

329
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: George is a difficult team to stay creative against because

330
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: you can do so little. So yes, I was surprised

331
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: to see how vanilla the Michigan playbook was. I was

332
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: not surprised to see how ineffective the Michigan offense was,

333
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: because I've been watching them all season, and I've been

334
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: watching George's defense all season. That really didn't surprise me.

335
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: I knew this whole season that there are teams who

336
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: could put up a better offensive fight against Georgia than

337
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: Michigan could. I think oh Missus one. I think Ohio

338
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: is one. I think even Oklahoma is one. I think

339
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: all three of those teams could have done a better

340
00:15:55,120 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: job offensively. What surprised me the most was George's offense

341
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: and the way that they were able to play so

342
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: flawlessly against Michigan's defense. Michigan's front four really couldn't get

343
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: home at all. They really couldn't get anything going. Now,

344
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: I've been saying all season that Michigan Secondary has tons

345
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: of problems. Obviously those were exacerbated whenever Dax Hill was

346
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: having some problems. I don't know exactly how many snaps

347
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: he played, but you know he missed the full week

348
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: of practice. But that I was a little bit more

349
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: surprised with that, just because I thought, at least if

350
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: they could give Steps and Bennett problems at the same

351
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: time that their defense is giving k McNamara problems, then

352
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: at least we could see a good ball game down

353
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: the stretch. Didn't prove to be the case. This episode

364
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: that you know, the first one not so much shocking

365
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: I was just like I thought, Michigan may play a

366
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: little bit above their water on the offensive line because

367
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: they you know, whenever you're going up against a unit

368
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: like that, you tend to play at a higher level

369
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: more consistently. That's just the human condition, you know what

370
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: I'm saying. You're taking on a bigger army, You're probably

371
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: gonna fight better. That's just how it works. But you know,

372
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 1: looking at the SEC now having two teams in the

373
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: National Championship, and we've talked about this on social media.

374
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 1: That's why I laugh at this. You know, SEC biasvs.

375
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: When you look at the one off bowl games where

376
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: you know, the SEC team doesn't have their quarterback, running back,

377
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: half their offensive line, they don't care to be there.

378
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: The other team it's their super Bowl and everybody's playing basically.

379
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 1: That's why I kind of brushed that off. But the

380
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 1: argument for the expansion of the playoff, to me, I

381
00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 1: think it lends more credence to it by having Alabama

382
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: and Georgia in it once again. And I'll go back

383
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: and say it, it is a This isn't a quick fix.

384
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: But like a lot of people think, it's like just

385
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 1: turning the light switch on Oh, all right, we fixed it.

386
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: That's that's not how this works. It's you have to

387
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:18,439
Speaker 1: have a long term solution to fix you know. And

388
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: again there's been more parody this year than ever, and

389
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: Bama Georgia are the two best teams. It all goes

390
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: back to recruiting. That's what this all goes back to.

391
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: And I have been on a soapbox about this all year.

392
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: If you expand it to twelve, because to me, twelves

393
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: where you need to cap it. I wanted eight. But

394
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: if you're going to expand it to twelve, you cap

395
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: it there and it doesn't mess with the regular season.

396
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: To me, it makes the regular season even more important. Now,

397
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: games at the end. Think about it in college basketball,

398
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: think about the bubble teams that are playing at the end.

399
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: They may not be playing a team that's going to

400
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 1: NC double a tournament, but that game means a ton

401
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: They have to win it. So if you're a team

402
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: that's on the bubble or on the edge, and it's

403
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 1: late in the season, maybe before a rivalry game, and

404
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: you're you know, Kentucky playing you know, let's just say,

405
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 1: for example, South Carolina and maybe South Carolina's out of it,

406
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 1: but Kentucky's fighting for spot. That game means a ton.

407
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: It makes it even more important than deciding, well are

408
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: we going to the Birmingham Bowl? Are we going to

409
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: try and you know, playing a bigger a little bit

410
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: of a bigger Bowl, but not a playoff type national

411
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,719
Speaker 1: champion type championship type situation. And the recruiting part is this.

412
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: These guys are able to go into these kids homes

413
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: and say, listen, you have a chance to win a

414
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: national championship here. Look we met it to the playoff.

415
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: You don't have to just go to these three or

416
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 1: four schools. Five star defensive end, five star offensive tackle.

417
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 1: So what you'll see is the monopoly, not that Baman

418
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 1: Georgia won't have great recruiting classes, but the monopoly on

419
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 1: all the top players, including and most importantly the offensive

420
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: offensive line and defensive line. We'll start to get spread

421
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: out amongst more teams. That's how you bridge this gap.

422
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: Just look at the games where we're both the games

423
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: won up front. That's the difference. In the NFL, the

424
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: games are one up front. So if you're able to

425
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 1: get them best players up front and have the most debt,

426
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: you're going to be able to compete, and it makes

427
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: the skill players so much better. So at the end

428
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: of the day, I think it lends more creaties to it. Well,

429
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: you are starting to win me over on the expanded

430
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 1: playoff idea, if it's done for the right reasons and

431
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: if the bowl games are incorporated in the right way.

432
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: And I think that you make the best argument when

433
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: you say that it would help recruiting and it would

434
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: help parody down the line throughout the years, Because I

435
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 1: do agree with that, and that would be good for

436
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: college football. I don't think it's a good argument for

437
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: anyone who comes on and says, see Georgia and Alabama

438
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: and the national title again, this is why we needed

439
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 1: an expanded playoff this year because then we wouldn't have

440
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: them both in the national title? Are you kidding me?

441
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: Who was going to beat them? No matter if we

442
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: opened it up to alle hundred and forty five teams

443
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: in college you know, I mean that was going to

444
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: be the final either way. So yes, it could open

445
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: up recruiting down the line so that you do see

446
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 1: some more parody or maybe you know, I'm not saying

447
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 1: there won't be an upset every now and then. You know,

448
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: maybe someone like an Old Miss could have gotten another

449
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: shot at an Alabama or something and possibly build an upset.

450
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 1: Someone like Texas A and M could have fought their

451
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: way in and been scrappy, you know, something like that.

452
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: But certainly you're not going to see upsets in the

453
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: way that we do with March madness in college basketball.

454
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: So as long as it's done in the right way,

455
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: which you know that remains to be seen. But I'm

456
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: still hopeful that they can do this. And honestly, Jake,

457
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: another big, big thing that I think that you know,

458
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 1: when we talk about expanding the playoff is eliminating or

459
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: at least minimizing these opt outs. You know, it's the

460
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 1: opt outs here. They're crazy. And kudos to Clemson and

461
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: Dabbo Sweeney, you know, I mean, I don't think Dabo

462
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: had one opt out, and he has several first round

463
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: picks coming out of Clemson that team wanted to play

464
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: for him. I think even one of his guys got

465
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: injured in the first half of that ball game. And

466
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: so hopefully if we do get an expanded playoff, they

467
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: do it in the right way. When we have kids

468
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 1: who say, you know what, I do want to play

469
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: in the Sugar Bowl, and I do want to go

470
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 1: play in the Fiesta Bowl, in the Rose Bowl. Yeah, well,

471
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: you put a legitimate ring up for grabs. There won't

472
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 1: be opt outs for a lot more teams that have

473
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: an opportunity. And you won't get opt outs of teams

474
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: that are competing in the regular season either, because they're

475
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 1: not going to opt out of a game that is

476
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 1: the maybe the deciding game to get them in the playoffs.

477
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: You're not going to see that towards the end of

478
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: the yarend. Can you imagine we already have rivalry week

479
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: at the end? Right how State Michigan, Bama, Auburn in

480
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: the Iron Ball? I can go down the list to

481
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 1: Civil War, I can go down the list Bedlam whatever.

482
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: Imagine if playoff spots were on the line, just and

483
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: you like you talk about, you know, increasing and already

484
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: almost nonincreasable pressure situation. Imagine if that Iron Bowl you

485
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: just watched, if Auburn was a projected fourteen you know

486
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:57,479
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, and they had to fight their way

487
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: in the twelve. But if they beat Bamma, You're in.

488
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: Can you imagine that? I mean for years? I mean

489
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: that's how Michigan's had to feel for years because they

490
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: hadn't been able to get past Ohio and they haven't

491
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: been able to participate any thing that matters in the postseason,

492
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: which was why you saw so much energy and so

493
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: much excitement this season to finally get over that hump

494
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: and to see the rewards that come along with it.

495
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: Just so happens that one of those rewards was getting

496
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: to go play the Georgia Bulldogs and getting backed in,

497
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: you know, but you know they needed to see it,

498
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh, is that they needed to go up and

499
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: they needed to see it. They need to see what

500
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: happens when you go play against the best. They need

501
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: to see what could happen if you if you attain

502
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: your goals. Hey, this is you know, not not all

503
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: rewards are positive, you know, And so that that they

504
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: need to use that as a as a as a

505
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,360
Speaker 1: builder in the offseason to say, wow, Okay, we've seen

506
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: it up close and in person. Maybe this version of

507
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: it is a little better than normal versions because Georgia

508
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: is just so dominant this season. But still that was good,

509
00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: and I think you're gonna, you know, other teams are

510
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: start to enter that same conversation teams like a Texas, Right,

511
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: Let's see if Notre Dame who's had problems, you know,

512
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 1: not problems in the regular season, but problems in the postseason.

513
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: Let's see if the Notre Dames and the Texas Is

514
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 1: in the USC's or even some of these you know

515
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: up and coming schools, you know, I mean, look what

516
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: Cincinnati in Houston and in central Florida. See if these

517
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: teams can keep building good programs and get the Miamis

518
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 1: in the Florida States back on track, and let's keep

519
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: college football great for sure. And I think you know again,

520
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,199
Speaker 1: a healthy college football is a college football with strong

521
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 1: teams in every region. That's what I want. Obviously we

522
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: know the se sees the best conference in the country,

523
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: but you want all conferences to be strong for the

524
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,399
